1,277.2-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 4.5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Auf der Karte umfasst Breitlingsee 515 Hektar hinter 12.4 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.5) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 4.2 km, an der breitesten Stelle 2.1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Möserscher See, 1.6 km Richtung Westen.

Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 4.5 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 4.5 m of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1.5 to 4.5 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 0.5 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (3 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (3 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: zander sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 1.5 to 4.5 m covers summer, 1.5 to 4.5 m covers winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 3 m of water that rates prime for zander in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. Throw a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (3 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (3 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (3 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
In spring, common carp run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 4.5 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 0.5 m, rated prime for spring common carp. Time it for early morning and the evening.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) |
In spring, burbot run shallow here, mostly 1.5 to 4.5 m. Summer keeps them at 1.5 to 4.5 m, and they winter in 1 to 4.5 m. Spring burbot concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 4.5 m. Fish it in after dark and midday and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a heavy jig + cut bait most summer days.

| Frühling | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |

Early season common bream use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 1.5 to 4.5 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 4.5 m that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, common carp, burbot, common bream, european eel, ide, roach, rudd, ruffe, white bream on Breitlingsee.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 14 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
For european perch, the summer bite is best in early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
